Ending out December with a Potential Pattern Change

Early Christmas present on the Euro tonight with a pretty sizeable snow event on Dec 30-31...it went back to trying to show two events...but that first one on Dec 29-30 gets strung out and almost gets morphed into the 2nd one.

 

I doubt it plays out like that.

 

 

Already said it a bunch of times, but worth repeating...get used to the model chaos of 100 different versions of this setup. Fast flow, multiple shortwaves in a gradient pattern.

it's exactly what we hoped for, first system drags down the boundary, cold air establishes,second system organizes and boom. Now let's get this under 96, patience grasshoppers

Yes, I'd much prefer the dominant system to be Dec 30-31.

 

But even on this run, the James Bay shortwave is pretty impressive so the leading s/w is cold enough for snow too. But our risk of cutting the storm is certainly less if we can keep the main show later.

Good 00z suite for the OP model solution fetish crowd.

 

All major OP model runs showed decent snow events tonight with the exception of the Ukie.

And yet BOX says no and it's only a light event from the Pike south lol.. Wonder if they looked at yesterdays models

 

Kevin--they caveat that with the fact that it is several days away and that their confidence level is "low".  As such, I think they're covering all possibilities pretty well with that.

 

Merry Christmas, Weenies.

Dec 19-21 set up?  2 storms close together connected by 24 hours of very light snow?

2008? Not sure of those dates. Thought 08 was a few days earlier. I think I ended up with over a foot total.

Actually up here it was a 5 inches on like the 17th I think, then a 12 incher on the 19th, a period of very light continuous snow on the 20th and 14 inches on the 21st.  Will had mentioned wanting consolidation to one shortwave, but models seem to be indicating possibility of 2.  Dec 08 with a Nina SWFE set up I think.  It was my first storm (afterte ice storm) after moving up here.  Twas awesome welcome.

 

Neither GYX nor BOX are enthused at all about Sunday, but indicate Monday night/Tuesday.

Just checked....BOS had close to 19 combined. That was a good winter with one bad month per recollection.

Yea, that was the 2nd installment in what turned out to be a series of awful months of March. 

We had essentially  one bonafide event that month on March 1-2....the JJ Foley's "dump in pants" event. haha The one in which the local media was calling for like 20", despite the mid levels going west....morons.

This is one of, if not the worst December ever. Sure it's been warmer and less snow (although not by much), but man this constant marine puke of 40 and drizzle is horrible. Just an all out horror show. Thank the heavens the sun will be out tomorrow.

The beast to your east has just pillaged you this month. You are broken

I agree with you. 

This is the worst December that I can recall.

I guess "worst" and "worse" are subjective terms and it just depends on what a given individual values. Obviously we all want snow and cold; however if I am not getting snow, then I, personally, I would prefer nice weather in association with a pattern that is not going to be tantalizing as hell.

In simplistic terms, if a month is not going to feature snow, then:

1) I want to be comfortable

2) I do not want to be teased with faux potential that is never realized...ie thirtysomething degree rainers, and/or cold, dry surpression.

 

This December has been laden with the former more than any that I can readily recall, which renders this the worst December in memory for me.

Yes, worse than months like December 2006, which was a month filled with "nice", comfortable weather and confidence that it just wasn't going to snow.
